Tipsy makes cashless tipping simple for the people who make your day — golf courses, bars, coffee shops, and beyond. For guests: scan a QR code or tap an NFC tag at checkout, pick who to tip (or split it between a few people), and pay with Apple Pay, card, or Link. No account required. For staff: tips land directly in your own bank account through Stripe, on the same day they're paid — no separate wallet app, no waiting on a third party to release your money. Add a spin of the Tip Wheel for a chance at a bigger tip, and track your earnings, badges, and history right in the app. For venues: get your team set up and taking tips the same day, no sales calls or long onboarding. Manage your roster, schedule, and payouts from one dashboard, with real-time reporting on tips and staff performance. Sign in with Apple, Face ID-ready, and built with real security from day one — every payment runs through Stripe.
